Nice text. I changed the syncing of the Kernel:Vanilla project so that it
suits your text. Now the linux-2.6.git is synced every night (at 3am) to the
buildservice. The package names include the commit id which should help with
identify the affected commits faster.

I'll post your text to LKML and opensuse-ml.

Cheers,
Jan
